The Highest-Paid Hip Hop Artists of 2015

 Want to feel even older than you may be at this stage of your life? There is a generation of consumers who know the name Dre because of headphones, but who could not name a single ORIGINAL song that has been produced and released by the iconic performer. The Forbes story reports that the sales of Beats earned Dr. Dre $620 million over the past year. That, according to Forbes, was a historic payday for a musician. Along with the Beats brand, Dr. Dre had a hand in the popular movie Straight Outta Compton, and he wisely released a studio album as that film was gaining international headlines.
